    "content": "claims were settled. The Bill’s Third Schedule allocates Ksh116 million for court fines collected under County Legislation Violations. The benefiting counties are: Murang’a, which has collected Ksh70.74 million; Machakos County, which has collected Ksh16.05 million; Mombasa County, which has collected Ksh13.42 million; and Kiambu County, which has collected Ksh10.78 million, among others. However, this money cannot be transferred from the courts to county accounts. If we pass this Bill, these counties will be able to use the money. Passing this Bill will help us disburse the money that has been collected as fines to the counties to enable them do projects. The transfer of court fines to the respective county governments has faced challenges due to lack of a framework for the collection and transfer of the same. Currently, the law requires that all revenue collected by the Judiciary be sent to the Consolidated Fund, but if we do not have a law, these funds cannot be transferred to counties. Hon. Temporary Speaker, please add me three minutes because my flow of thoughts is on high gear."
